#46 Healthy Boundaries: In this episode, Phap Huu and Jo talk about healthy boundaries. In this busy and complex world, is it possible to remain open and vulnerable whilst also ensuring our safety and protection?
This question is answered through stories from the Buddha’s time and Thich Nhat Hanh’s life and teachings, as well as from the presenters’ own life experiences.
Brother Phap Huu further shares about practising awareness and Jo shares about courage and communication, among many other themes and stories.
The episode ends with this short meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu:
''Breathing in, there is space in my heart; breathing out, I offer it to those who are close to me".
